EasyJet customers can now check in using photo of passport

The airline's app no longer asks users to manually enter their passport details.

EasyJet passengers can now check in for their flight via the airline's official app by taking a photograph of their passport.

An update for the iOS and Android version of the service has eliminated the need for customers to manually input their details when registering for their journey.

The new feature, implemented with the help of validation specialist Jumio, speeds up the check-in process by allowing users to sign in with their smartphone up to two hours before their flight at 110 EasyJet airports.

"Our new mobile passport scanning function will save time for the millions of customers who use the app to input their travel documentation details," said EasyJet head of digital James Millett.

"It's another example of innovating to make travel as easy as it is affordable with EasyJet."
